Binary Templates - Hex Editing to a New Level

Why is 010 Editor so powerful? Unlike traditional hex editors which only display the raw hex bytes of a file (1), 010 Editor can also parse a file into a hierarchical structure using a Binary Template (2). The results of running a Binary Template are much easier to understand and edit than using just the raw hex bytes.

Binary Templates are easy to write and look similar to C/C++ structs except they may contain if, for, or while statements as well as functions or complex expressions.

Powerful enough to parse almost any binary file format.

Can be set to run automatically when files are opened.

Templates may be shared and a list of templates for download is available in our Template Repository.

Try this:
Download and install 010
Editor, then open any BMP, ZIP, or WAV file and you will be
presented with the whole file parsed into a data structure
for easy editing.
